Going back to work - how much milk to send?

I go back to work on Monday - but I arranged a new schedule with my work that is great. I will work 4 hours a day in the office and the other 4 at home.
What I am trying to figure out is how much milk to send on Monday for those 4 hours. Our daughter is 9 weeks old.
I do have a freezer stash started and will continue to pump of course.

How many bottles and how much in each bottle should I send for the 4 hours. I assume I should send some extra frozen milk for "emergencies."
What have you all done?
Thanks!

Re: Going back to work - how much milk to send?

Hi,

I would suggest sending two (or three?) small (2-3 oz) bottles, but believe me, I am no expert. I sent a lot in the beginning until I saw how much my DS ate each day. How much your daughter drinks will depend partially on whether you can nurse her just before you drop her off or when you pick her up.
